A complaint and a plan...

Hopefully I have managed to catch up with my news today and won't fall too far behind with my blog again.

There is something which I need to get off my chest though before I go to sleep. I have finally decided that I ought to go to the toilet in the garden. I am tending to get into a lot of trouble if I use the carpet these days and it is becoming more trouble than it is worth. I do manage the odd one - especially when it is cold or windy... The problem now is when I do go outside. Once it has got dark, there is a part of the garden that is in the shadow of the outside light - the perfect place to poo in private you might think.

Oh no, they insist on shining the torch right whileI am in the middle of my business! I can't even scamper off and get a bit of privacy! It's bad enough having to go outside, but this torch thing is starting to get me just a bit naffed off.

The one time I do really dislike going outside is first thing in the morning. I have barely had chance to stretch and finish my yawn and I am scooped up and taken outside. Daddy seems very good at doing this and I have failed to escape his clutches yet, so I have decided to abandon my 'foot in the wee' game for a while and embark on my next plan. I have started setting my alarm for 5am! I make a little noise, start walking about on the mat and up he jumps (not particularly athletically is has to be said) to take me into the garden! Then he glances at the time, groans, says something rude. I think I am starting to wear him down a bit... A couple more weeks of this and he is bound to give up this first thing in the morning garden thing and let me use the carpet. I will let you know how things go...

One final thing, I need to say hello to my online friend Ellen. She had a nasty accident a couple of weeks ago and broke her leg. I am very pleased that you are on the mend and that you have enjoyed reading about me training my new family. I know how you must be feeling, my useless Daddy keeps standing on my paws and it is really starting to hurt - the great lump! Hope you can come and visit soon...

That's me done for the night, I need to get my sleep so that I can be up and ready at 5am.....
